Tap into Speed: Dancing the Dynamic 'Running Shuffle' with Flair

The "Running Shuffle" in tap dance is a rapid series of shuffle steps, giving an illusion of "running". It starts with a basic shuffle, which is a "brush" forward and a "spank" backward. In the running version, perform continuous shuffles, alternating feet without planting the foot down between each shuffle. This creates a fast-paced, "running" effect. The upper body remains steady, and the focus is on the feet's clarity and speed. For best results, practice slowly at first, then build up speed for clarity and rhythm.
